Rooms for every occasion

Our rooms, which have been refurbished to a high standard, are situated on three floors and can accommodate a wide range of activities for people of all ages. A two person lift from the lower ground floor to the ground and first floors and a wide ramped entrance enable everyone to access the building.


We particularly welcome enquiries from groups and individuals wishing to run events or exhibitions which accord with the aims and vision of Kennaway House: community learning, the arts and local heritage and history.

Our elegant Regency rooms, the Hatton Wood and Amyatt on the ground floor, enable us to cater for all social occasions. The former seats up to 60 guests for formal lunches or dinners and the latter up to 20 guests, with its ante room suitable for pre dinner drinks. These rooms also lend themselves to receptions, funeral gatherings, fashion shows, conferences and musical events such as concerts, jazz nights, and recitals.

Our Cellar Bar is available for parties, buffet lunches and dinners (seating up to 80 guests), wine tasting, coffee mornings, keep fit and dance classes, quiz nights, and craft fairs.

We will be pleased to put you in touch with local caterers who offer a wide selection of menus from finger buffets to gourmet three course meals.
